Titles due 47Apr 30, 2014 8:10 pm I love the changes you made and the selections look great I am sooo jealous of your pantry I drove down your street just the other day! Today it looked like they've made a bit of a mess at the front of your block (assuming you are where I think you are ) Brickwork has started on the sales office and soakwells have gone in a few blocks, it's exciting watching it go up! I know they have finalised the tenders and have signed a $2m contract for the parks and walkways, I can't wait until it's done, it is going to be just lovely. Fingers crossed your sold sign is up soon My build thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70655&p=1164017#p1164017 Our House is full of magical things patiently waiting for our Home to be built Re: Ventura- Providence, Wellard - Prestart done! Titles due 48Apr 30, 2014 8:20 pm The one thing people kept saying was lots of storage so I tried to put it in where I could. Yes so my block is the middle one across from the sea containers down there at the moment... There is always crap on my section haha hoping when all pegs go down they move it all! I am trying to limit myself to once a week so I actually see a change!! But I did notice the bricks had been delivered since we are early stages I hope a few people build straight away so I am not alone out there! Especially since there is a few display homes. The park is going to be awesome and the 5pm walking trail that goes straight past my house - can't wait! As soon as the sold sign is up I must get pictures. If it's like the rest of the year.... it will go very quick!! Re: Ventura- Providence, Wellard - Prestart done!

Love your plan and colour choices Re: Ventura- Providence, Wellard - Prestart done! Titles due 51Apr 30, 2014 10:31 pm Absolutely cannot go wrong with storage LOL! I live 2mins away so I pretty much go past every time I go to the shops, which is probably at least 3times a week hahaha, can't wait for everything to be built! I have sooooo many photos of the Sold sign Oh, I forgot to say before, we were originally looking at a Bush facing block with a 12.5BAL but we were only quoted $8000 to meet the requirements, so hopefully your actual costs are less than your estimate My build thread https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=70655&p=1164017#p1164017 Our House is full of magical things patiently waiting for our Home to be built Re: Ventura- Providence, Wellard - Prestart done! Titles due 52May 01, 2014 6:54 am Yes we live in Bertram now and walk my dog at the park up the top so we are often close haha. I hope it comes back at 8k - that would be awesome - seems silly anyway.... If there is a big fire I don't think a fee extras will save the house anyway!

Titles due 54May 02, 2014 9:50 am Oh I'm in love with your pantry also! Wish we had had the room to put extra storage in...always comes in handy And you will be surprised how quickly the estate will go from a huge pile of sand to roads and park and houses everywhere! It felt like ours popped up overnight! Re: Ventura- Providence, Wellard - Prestart done! Titles due 55May 03, 2014 6:25 pm The reason for the big pantry was because I moved the laundry away and I also love food. Maybe I will become a doomsday prep-er and start hoarding non perishables in my over sized pantry I do plan to stick my microwave in there too Yes it's funny with the estate.... it felt like nothing for ages and now things are happening!

Titles due 56May 03, 2014 6:48 pm hi aimees I am catching up on your build. I like how you have changed the house to become extraordinary! the way you have moved the l'dry and turned that space into a workable kitchen, one that will never get to small no matter how big your family gets. your Ldry now has the space I could only dream about. I don't know why builders just don't start with a house plan like yours its more useable I am looking forward to following your build! Re: Ventura- Providence, Wellard - Prestart done! Titles due 57May 03, 2014 9:11 pm Thanks 2-cupcakes! I like to think I have made a practical house that will suit us for the next 5-10 years. Not sure why I made a big laundry though - I hate doing washing! We wanted a really basic layout and I think with our changes it has worked out pretty good. Happy to hear feedback on the plan though because it's always good to know it would work for other's (from a resale perspective). It's also nice to hear feedback because I am always second guessing my choices when I see some of the amazing plans on here! Our titles are due end of may so hopefully over the next few months my thread becomes rather exciting! I am going to email the same company for a quote on shutters, specifically for the front windows. We have 2 big sliding doors - not really sure what to put on them and wasn't going to put window coverings on my kitchen window/splash back - not even sure if there would be room for anything anyway! I do love the white plantation shutters tho so they are a must have!

Titles due 58May 04, 2014 2:26 pm Bush foot path - goes straight past our house. Should be a 5km trail by the end of it - nice and wide.

Titles due 60May 04, 2014 2:44 pm Yes I am glad we don't have to go far for a nice walk. Some of the bush will be a park so I am hoping there will be parking there too.
